Finish your brainstorming session with your group and turn in your google doc link OR padlet link to Edmodo.

Here are all of the details for the project: PARTY PLANNING PROJECT - I will go over these in class! It's a lot but we have a lot of time to work on this so don't get overwhelmed! :)

Agenda for Wednesday, April 16, 2014:

Your Publisher Flyer is due TODAY. Please turn that in to Edmodo!

When you get finished, you will need to get in a group of 2-3 for the next project. You can choose to work by yourself if you want to but I wouldn't recommend it.

When you get your group, one of you needs to create an account with www.padlet.com. You will create a padlet wall in order to brainstorm ideas for a PARTY! You will collaborate online by adding information to this padlet from your separate computers. For the next two weeks, we will be working on a project surrounding the ideas you come up with for this party so make it good!! Things you need to come up with are listed on the board.

Agenda for Tuesday, April 15, 2014:

Continue working on your Publisher Flyer about the consequences of spreading rumors online. See the agenda from yesterday for specific requirements.

Turn it in to Edmodo when you are finished.

THIS IS DUE TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY 4-16 AT THE END OF CLASS! :)

If you finish before the end of class, see Mrs. Jones for the next assignment.

Agenda for Monday, April 14, 2014:

If you have not turned in your Career Flyer that you created in Microsoft Word, please turn that in to Edmodo before you start this next unit.

Go to the following website: www.nsteens.org. Click on Videos and find the video called “Mike-Tosis.” If you do not have your own headphones or earbuds, you can borrow a pair of mine.

Think about the following questions while watching the video: 1. What rumor were the students spreading about Allie in her daydream? 2. What technologies were they using to spread the rumor? 3. Why did the rumor spread so fast?

Using Publisher, create a flyer about the consequences of spreading rumors online. You can use the following website: www.netsmartz.org to research information to use on your poster. On the website, you should use the Tweens section to gather your information. THIS IS DUE ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16TH! :)

The following is what you need to incorporate into your Publisher flyer:

1. Do NOT use a template – Use either the Portrait or Landscape 8.5X11 Blank Page to start2. Change Page Color and Scheme Color to match what color scheme you want to use3. Insert WordArt Title 4. 5 tips about the affects of spreading rumors online 5. Pictures to go along with your topic - Use Clip Art and Non-copyrighted pictures6. Add a border to your document 7. Shapes – change fill and outline colors8. Text Box9. Change Fonts and Font Colors10. Turn this in to Edmodo when you are finished.

After you are finished with your Publisher flyer, go back to the NetSmartz website and check out the other videos, under the real-life stories section. There are also Internet Safety and Cyberbullying games you may play.
